INTRODUCTION The feed balance sheet questionnaire was agreed by the “Crop products statistics” Working Party of the Agricultural Statistics Committee. The “total availability” column of the balance sheet refers to the quantities of all products intended for use for animal feeding during the reference period. Normally, specific animals feed products are asked for in the questionnaire. For headings where no specific products are named (e.g. “by-products”, “other” or “not specified”), Member States should use their own classification, detailing the products concerned. Eurostat needs to know what products are included under these headings in order to know accurately the corresponding metabolisable energy and digestible crude protein quantities involved. Some feed products are covered by a supply balance sheet and the quantities that should be entered in the animal feed balance questionnaire for these products are those given under “animal feedingstuffs” in the relevant supply balance sheet. 2. REFERENCE PERIOD In general the crop year runs from July to June (12 months). For products covered by a supply balance sheet, the supply balance sheet period should be used when it matches. In the case of products for which the supply balance sheets are compiled for the calendar year (e.g. milk, animal fats), Member States are asked to provide data for the crop year. For other products the period July to June should be used or failing this, the closest possible period to this. 3. UNITS Quantities should be given in 1 000 tonnes product weight and should represent the gross weight of the product used as feed, irrespective of the final form of the product (e.g. compound feed). For by-products it is necessary to specify whether the data are expressed in actual weight or dry weight; the relevant dry matter percentage should also be given. In the case of beet the weight of the roots only should be given; for other root crops it should be specified whether the weight applies to the roots only or the whole plant. For “fodder maize” (212 000) and “other green annual fodder crops” (213 000) it should be indicated whether quantities are given in green weight or as silage. 3 In the case of temporary and perennial fodder crops (221 000 and 222 000) it is essential that Member States indicate whether the product weight given is in terms of hay, silage or green product. Green is defined as the green amount at harvest; silage is defined as weight of silage and not the green weight of the raw material; hay is defined as the crop cut and dried naturally on the farm. 4. ORIGIN OF ANIMAL FEEDINGSTUFFS The origin of the various products should be given i.e. products should be classified to “home production”, “imports from EU” or “imports from non-EU countries”. This classification is necessary in order to determine the origin of Community supplies. In the case of certain products resulting from the processing of raw materials (by- products from the milling industry, oil cakes) the following points should be noted: (1) The column “Imports” should include (1) feedingstuffs imported as such, either from EU or from non-EU countries and (2) produced from imported raw materials. (2) The column “Home production” should include feedingstuffs produced in the country from indigenous raw materials only. 5. BALANCE SHEET LINES: CONTENT OF CODES The following are details of the data to be used for each code when filling in the feed balance questionnaire. Marketable feedingstuffs (100 000) Animal feedingstuffs of vegetable origin (110 000) Cereals (111 000) The quantities (1 000 tonnes grain) to be inserted here are those given under “animal feedingstuffs” in the cereals supply balance sheet. Separate balances are available for wheat (111 100), rye and maslin (111 200), barley (111 300), oats and mixed grains (111 400), maize (111 500), sorghum (110 600), triticale (111 700) and cereals not elsewhere specified, such as millet (111 800). The industrial by-products of cereals not covered by these balance sheets are dealt with further down. Rice (112 000) The relevant quantity (1 000 tonnes broken rice) to insert here is that of the “animal feed” line in the broken rice balance. Dried pulses (113 000) The quantities (1 000 tonnes grain) to insert here are those given on the “animal feed” line of the dried pulses supply balance sheet. Separate balances are available for peas (113 100), beans and field beans (113 300), lupins and others, such as lentils or vetches. 4 Potatoes (114 000) The quantities (1 000 tonnes tubers) to insert here are those given on the “animal feed” line in the potatoes supply balance sheet. Sugar (115 000) The quantities (1 000 tonnes white sugar) to insert here are those given on the “animal feed” line of the sugar supply balance sheet. Molasses are dealt with further down. Vegetable oils and fats (116 000) The quantities (1 000 tonnes crude oil) to insert here are those given on the “animal feed” line in the crop year vegetable fats and oils supply balance sheet. Processed green fodder (117 000) This heading refers to artificially dried fodder in meal or pellet form. The raw material may be lucerne or other green fodder crops artificially dried. NB: hay should not be included under this item. Quantities should be expressed in 1 000 tonnes of product weight. The amounts of raw materials processed should be deducted from the relevant totals under items 212 000, 213 000 221 000 and 222 000. Manioc (118 000) Quantities should be expressed in 1 000 tonnes of product weight. All forms of tapioca should be included. These products are generally imported (CN code 0714 10). Other products of vegetable origin (119 000) (1) 119 400 Carob beans: 1 000 tonnes product weight (2) 119 600 Cocoa shells: 1 000 tonnes product weight (3) 119 800 Others: the name of the product and the unit used (dry weight, wet weight) should be indicated. (4) 119 900 Oil seeds: the quantities to be used here are those given in the oilseeds and oleaginous fruits and seeds supply balance sheet on the “animal feed” line. Processing by-products (120 000) By-products of the milling industry (121 000) This heading refers to by-products (1 000 tonnes product weight) from the milling of cereals and leguminous crops. All by-products from the milling of cereals for animal feed should be excluded (i.e. those already included in the cereals balance sheet) to avoid duplication. The type of cereal (wheat, maize, rice, others) should be specified. The PRODCOM classification describes them respectively under codes 15.61.50.10,30, 90; the Combined Nomenclature describes them under codes 23 02 10, 23 02 20, 23 02 30, 23 02 40 and 23 02 50. By-products of the brewing industry (122 000) This item refers to by-products (1 000 tonnes product weight) from the manufacture of malt and beer. The type of products included should be specified as well as indicating whether the quantities given are fresh (wet weight) or dried (dry weight). If possible the relevant dry matter percentages should also be provided. The PRODCOM classification 5 describes them under code 15.96.20; the Combined Nomenclature describes them under code 23 03 30 00. By-products of the distilling industry (123 000) This item refers to by-products (1 000 tonnes product weight) from the distilling of agricultural products for the production of alcohol. The type of products included should be specified as well as indicating whether the quantities given are fresh (wet weight) or dried (dry weight) together with the relevant dry matter percentages. The PRODCOM classification describes them under code 15.96.20; the Combined Nomenclature describes them under code 23 03 30 00. By-products of the starch industry (124 000) This line refers to by-products (1 000 tonnes product weight) from the manufacture of starch. The type of products included should be specified as well as indicating whether the quantities given are fresh (wet weight) or dried (dry weight).

(2) 124 200: Corn gluten feed is included under this heading and not under the heading of oil cakes of maize which refers to maize germ (126 500). If possible its protein content should be specified which normally is 21 %. The PRODCOM classification describes them under code 15.96.20; the Combined Nomenclature describes them under code 23 03 10.
